PIPELINE INSPECTION AND INTEGRITY SOLUTIONS

Continuous technological innovation, a full-service approach, trust and reliability are the cornerstones of our success. We call it Inspection Intelligence. Protecting your assets in our environment Pipelines are important industrial and strategic assets that need to be maintained and evaluated on a regular basis. Pipeline inspection is a key factor in the pipeline maintenance process. Precise and reliable data on potential flaws and anomalies is required in order to assess the integrity of a pipeline and to define optimum maintenance procedures. NDT Global has set the standards for pipeline inspections and integrity assessments on all continents, onshore and offshore. 02

Leading-edge tool technology for your pipeline Creating Inspection Intelligence the power of NDT Global engineering Data quality is critical for advanced pipeline integrity assessment and analysis. NDT Global operates state-of-the-art inline inspection tools which ensure the highest data quality while delivering unparalleled accuracy and resolution. Our engineering department is a pioneer in the development of ultrasonic inspection tools and has gained an excellent reputation for solving complex tasks such as dual and multidiameter, deep water and bi-directional inspections. These accomplishments have given NDT Global one of the most impressive reference lists in the industry. NDT Global provides comprehensive inspection reports supported by in-house developed software for data visualization and pipeline integrity management.

State-of-the-art crack detection Wall thickness inspection with the best possible accuracy Pipeline cracks occur in the body of the pipe, the heat affected zone or the weld. Typical cracks are fatigue cracks, stress corrosion cracks or hook cracks. Crack inspection also includes detection of laminations that can impair the integrity of the pipe. The remaining wall thickness of a pipeline must be investigated to determine its safe operating pressure thresholds. NDT Global offers a full range of inspection tools with ultrasonic and magnetic flux leakage technology. NDT Global operates a fleet of ultrasonic tools for crack inspection. Our Evo Series UC 1.0 and LineExplorer UC tools are available in sizes from 6" to 48". Special configurations are available for axial and circumferential crack inspection as well as for combined metal loss and crack inspection. Our Evo Series UM 1.0 and LineExplorer UM tools for metal loss measurement include tools for pitting detection and sizing, combined metal loss and crack inspection, multidiameter, bi-directional as well as deep water applications requiring high temperature and high pressure capabilities. Tool sizes range from 6" to 48". Evo Series UC 1.0 tool for crack inspection 05

Translating inspection accuracy into facts and figures Tools to define pipeline integrity NDT Global relies on one of the best software programming and data analysis teams in the industry. Pipeline inspection is the cornerstone of the pipeline integrity and management process. Our product is your report. Data analysis feeds the inspection report which includes all operational details of the inspection, a summary of metal loss, crack, manufacturing-related anomalies, a safe operating pressure (Psafe) calculation and detailed feature descriptions and printouts of anomalies. A preliminary report that points to major flaws and anomalies precedes the final report. The data gathered on the location, depth, length, width of metal loss, cracks, laminations and dents is subsequently analyzed to answer the following crucial questions: Is the inspected pipeline able to fulfill its function now and in the future? Have anomalies and flaws grown over time? What is the remaining lifetime of the pipeline? In addition to printed reports, NDT Global also provides a wide range of digital formats, including spreadsheet and pipeline data management formats. NDT Global provides clear answers to these questions. Extensive fitness-for-purpose evaluations are comprised of run comparisons, corrosion growth analysis, risk of failure and fatigue assessments as well as rehabilitation and maintenance recommendations. 06

The benefits of pipeline integrity assessment extensive unified database of pipeline facts prolonged pipeline design life reliable operational performance long term strategy and cost optimization improved public safety enhanced environmental protection stable relationship with regulatory agencies Building a pipeline integrity management plan NDT Global uses in-house developed software and applies the latest industry assessment procedures and codes to determine the pipeline s structural integrity. NDT Global offers visualization software as well as a pipeline data management software package which provides sophisticated mapping, data integration and data management for the pipeline operator. We offer Inspection Intelligence to provide a high first-run success rate, superior data quality and rapid report generation for your pipelines. Gathering and processing all assessment, management and corresponding pipeline data, NDT Global s pipeline integrity management software is a key tool for pipeline operators.
